Australia Stakes 2013 Betting Tips & Selections

The first Group 2 race of the season in Victoria runs at Melbourne’s Moonee Valley Racecourse under the lights tonight with an exciting field of sprinters engaged for the 2013 Australia Stakes – betting tips and selections from the Races.com.au tipsters for which are detailed below.

Due to jump at 9:15pm (AEST) as Moonee Valley Race 6, the $220,000 Group 2 Essendon Mazda Australia Stakes (1200m) field is down to seven chances following the early withdrawal of #4 Skytrain for Peter Snowden who will run instead in Sydney’s Canterbury Classic tonight.

Snowden is still dominating the Australia Stakes odds however preparing the firming $2 favourite Pinwheel who jumps from barrier two in their first run since an excellent fourth to undefeated WA champ Barakey in the Group 1 Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) at Ascot back in November.

Following Pinwheel in the Australia Stakes 2013 odds are then Mark Kavanagh’s last start Christmas Stakes winner Undeniably ($3.90) and early market mover Sea Lord ($6.50) who was runner-up to Undeniably in the Listed Boxing Day feature last time out.

So does the Races.com.au team’s Australia Stakes betting tip come from this top trio? Or are we tipping a boil-over result with an upset from the likes of a longer priced chance such as veteran galloper Outlandish Lad ($12) or Group 3 Flemington winning mare Koonoomoo ($13)?

No denying the favourite has form for this but there’s a few things ruling out of the win for us
